The World Health Organization (WHO) defines obesity as excessive fat storage that can threaten human health. The fact that individuals are in a constant cycle of weight gain and loss as a result of wrong diets, Dr. It was defined as Yo-Yo Syndrome by Kelly D. Brownell. Metabolic and physiological factors are effective in the formation of Yo-Yo syndrome. Improper and low-calorie diets applied in a short time are effective in the emergence of Yo-Yo syndrome. Individuals with this syndrome normally lose weight when they start dieting, but these lost weights do not have a long-term lasting effect and are regained more. The individual enters the inevitable weight cycle by losing weight and then immediately regaining it. In order to successfully treat Yo-Yo syndrome and prevent it from happening again, long-term weight loss should be achieved by adopting permanent lifestyle changes aimed at losing healthy weight, with support from a nutrition and diet specialist. Elimination of the harmful effects of the Yo-Yo cycle causes an increase in the average life expectancy and a decrease in the mortality rate instead of raising the living standards of the individual. In this study, it is aimed to investigate the metabolic and physiological factors underlying Yo-Yo syndrome and Yo-Yo syndrome with the support of the literature. The role of health professionals in the formation and development of healthy societies with healthy individuals is quite large. Adopting a multi-disciplinary approach, professional interventions for individuals' lifestyles and dietary habits are considered to be the most effective measure that can be taken against the Yo-Yo cycle.
